Beautiful Wild In Our Estates

The animal has been known to resemble the lowland nyalas. Males and females have different physical characteristics. The male has a fur color that is a dark grayish.
Water Mongooses
The water mongoose mainly eats aquatic prey such as crabs, prawns, fish and frogs. They are also known to take terrestrial prey such as mammals, birds, insects, reptiles as well as plant material. They are able to open mussels and crabs by hurling them down against a rock from a standing position. The marsh mongoose, also known as the water mongoose, is a medium-sized mongoose native to sub-Saharan Africa that inhabits foremost freshwater wetlands. It has been listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List since 2008.
Spotted Genet
The Large-Spotted Genet has a shoulder height of 210 mm, but this species is short legged. The elongated body has a length of 460 mm and a mass of 1.6 kg. The thick, black and whitish-grey ringed tail is long at 400 mm. Claws are short, partially retractable and are an aid to climbing. The common genet is a small viverrid indigenous to Africa that was introduced to southwestern Europe and the Balearic Islands. It is widely distributed north of the Sahara, in savanna zones south of the Sahara to southern Africa and along the coast of Arabia, Yemen and Oman.
Woolly Necked Stork
These Woolly Necked Storks can be spotted frequently gazing in the sun in our estates. The Woolly-necked Stork is a large bird, typically 85 cm tall. It is all black except for the woolly white neck and white lower belly. The upper parts are glossed dark green, and the breast and belly have a purple hue. Juvenile birds are duller versions of the adult. South Africa, for good reason, is probably [Africa’s] most-birded country. With more than 75 endemics and near-endemics and essentially two endemic bird families (rockjumpers and sugarbirds), it is among Africa’s top birding countries.

Blue & Grey Duiker
These playful small grey bush duikers you will spot normally following the vervet monkeys or playfully chase each other neer the bush lines of the estates. The Duiker gets its name from the Afrikaans word ‘duiker’ which means to dive, relating to the animal’s habit of ducking away into bushes when danger threatens. They can live independently of water and feed on leaves, fruit and seeds. They are one of the very few antelope to have been known to eat insects and carrion.
